2. In addition to the provisions and protections contained in the Protective Order, the 9 following shall apply to deposition testimony provided by ESPN in connection with this action. 10 11 it reasonably and in good faith believes that such testimony contains confidential information so 12 commercially sensitive that the protections afforded by the Protective Order are insufficient to 13 adequately protect the interests of ESPN. ESPN shall specify its designations by page and line 14 number. 15

3. ESPN may designate its deposition testimony as "OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY" if 4. The Parties acknowledge and agree that examples of an appropriate "OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY" designation include internal ESPN communications discussing the negotiation 17 of the terms of licensing agreements between ESPN and EA, the terms of licensing agreements 18 between ESPN and licensees other than EA, and internal ESPN communications discussing 19 5. Except as expressly provided below, any deposition testimony provided by ESPN 21 and designated "OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY" may be used only for purposes of this action and 22 shall not be given, shown, made available or communicated in any way to anyone except: 23

b. outside litigation counsel of record to the Parties, including the legal associates and clerical or other support staff who are employed by such counsel and are working under the express direction of such counsel;

c. court reporters who record deposition or other testimony in the litigation;

10 deposition testimony provided by ESPN, including deposition testimony designated "OUTSIDE 11 COUNSEL ONLY," written acknowledgement that such persons have read, understand, and will 12 comply with the terms of the Protective Order and this stipulation supplementing the Protective 13 7. In the event that a party deems it necessary to disclose any testimony designated as "OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY" to any person not specified in Paragraph 5, that party shall notify 16 counsel for ESPN in writing of: (i) the testimony it wishes to disclose; and (ii) the persons to whom 17 such disclosure is to be made. The proposed disclosure shall not be made absent written 18 permission from ESPN, unless the party wishing to make the disclosure obtains an order from the 19 8. Any testimony designated as "OUTSIDE COUNSEL ONLY" that is used in 21 connection with any court proceeding shall not lose its outside counsel only status through such 22 use, and the parties shall take all steps reasonably required to protect its confidentiality during such 23 use, including the notice and filing under seal procedures provided in paragraphs 13, 15, and 16 of 24 the Protective Order. 25 26 designated, will be treated in accordance with the Protective Order and this stipulation 27 supplementing the Protective Order, and will not be shown or in any way provided to any third 28

f. any person whom ESPN agrees to in writing prior to any such disclosure;

g. persons or entities that provide litigation support services (e.g., photocopying; videotaping; translating; preparing exhibits or demonstrations; organizing, storing, retrieving data in any form or medium; etc.) and their employees and subcontractors.

6. Counsel for the Parties shall obtain from all persons who are given access to any Order. 14

United States District Court for the District of Connecticut permitting the proposed disclosure. 20

9. The parties agree that any deposition testimony provided by ESPN, however party, including during the deposition of other third parties, unless the third party otherwise 2 satisfies an exception to gain access to such confidential information. 3

10. The United States District Court for the District of Connecticut shall retain 4 jurisdiction over all disputes relating to any subpoena issued by that court to non-party ESPN, 5 including the jurisdiction to resolve any motion for a protective order brought by ESPN pursuant to 6 Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(c). 7
